Steven White of RingSideGames.com recently interviewed THQ regarding WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw for PS2. Below is a full recap of the interview.
RingSideGames.com: Hello, firstly I want to thank you for agreeing to give this interview.
THQ Spokesperson: No problem
RSG: Could you tell everyone a secret that we don't know yet?
THQ: Well, we will be including all the WWE Arenas from Vengeance 2003 right through to Bad Blood 2004
RSG: Are there any current Wrestlers that won't be in the Game?
THQ: Well anyone who is still competing on WWE TV in August will make the cut, and will be included in the game.
RSG: Even if someone new comes in?
THQ: Yes
RSG: That’s cool. Will each superstar have unique storylines in Season mode?
THQ: The storylines will be as unique as possible, however repetition is going to be unavoidable I’m afraid.
RSG: Fair enough. Will any legends be on the game and will Paul Bearer and Jeff Hardy be on the game?
THQ: There will be legends in the game this year. Paul Bearer isn’t in at the present time and Jeff Hardy will definitely not be in the game.
RSG: Yeh, he’s with TNA now I believe. Anyway, my next question is Will the Buried Alive, Casket, Ambulance or Inferno matches be on the game?
THQ: Well none of them have been included in what I’ve seen of the game, but hey you never know! As far as I know the new match this year is the Parking Lot Brawl.
RSG: Is that the only new match?
THQ: That’s the only one I know of.
RSG: OK, will you be able to use weapons more freely and in more ways?
THQ: Oh yes, we are working hard on this area this year. We are including new weapons such as when you’re defending a title, you can use the belt as a weapon!
RSG: Well, that is definitely realistic! Will you be able to rip music from the PS2 Hard Drive for entrances?
THQ: Nope.
RSG: Fair enough, Will there be a GM mode?
THQ: No there will not be. There will be the normal season mode however, and the authority figures will play a bigger part in the game.
RSG: Will Kane have his finger eleven theme?
THQ: Yes, he will
RSG: What legends will be in the game?
THQ: I cannot really tell you at the present time; however Andre the Giant looks hopeful!
RSG: Wow, that’s great news! We can have Andre vs. Big Show!
THQ: (Laughs)
RSG: Which divas will appear in the game?
THQ: All the current WWE ones up until August!
RSG: Will bra and panties be in this year’s game?
THQ: Of course!
RSG: Right that’s sold me the game!! (Laughs)
THQ: (Laughs)
RSG: Is Hulk Hogan in the game as a legend?
THQ: No he is not.
RSG: Are the original Entrance better than HCTP. I mean like do we still have those Micheal Jackson wannabes and the Spiderman entrance, or we have something that a normal wrestler would do?
THQ: I cannot really comment as Yukes are handling the CAW part of the game.
RSG: Alright, Do the WWE Divas Bleed?
THQ: No they won’t, only the male wrestlers will bleed.
RSG: Will the game feature more in depth story lines?
THQ: Yes, we are working closely with WWE writers to make it the best season mode on a WWE game yet!
RSG: That’s good news, HCTP got dreadfully repetitive! If the game is online what can we expect from the online mode?
THQ: It will be similar to the Fifa series, in which you can have matches against other players etc.
RSG: Looks like RingsideGames.com will be having an online tournament then! Will Mordecai be in the game?
THQ: Well, he is but we may be taking him out seeing as he is no longer on WWE TV at the moment.
RSG: Yeh, he is back in OVW at the moment.
THQ: Yup.
RSG: Will there be a good number of legends in the game?
THQ: We’re hoping to have around 12 in the final game.
RSG: Will King and JR be in this game and provide commentary?
THQ: They are in the game, but we probably will not have commentary again this year. It simply takes up too much space on the game.
RSG: Will Brock Lesnar's, Goldberg's, Austin's Moves, music, entrance and movies be in the game?
THQ: Only their moves.
RSG: Damn, will you be putting in the undertaker’s new entrance and his music and attire?
THQ: Yes we will be. He will be exactly as he is now.
RSG: (Laughs) Even with the cowboy hat?
THQ: (Laughs) Definitely with the cowboy hat!
RSG: How many pixels will this year’s game use for the Wrestlers?
THQ: Around 25% more than we used last year!
RSG: Amazing, I thought the graphics were great on HCTP! Like in DOR are you guys copyrighting music to play in the background of the game?
THQ: Yes we are, we want to have our own music this year!
RSG: Like in GTA: San Andreas, will the Season Mode be more realistic...Like they will have to Eat and work out if they don't want to lose energy or power?
THQ: No we won’t have that feature in the game. Sorry!
RSG: No probs man! Will the Elimination chamber be in the game this year?
THQ: Yes, all the matches from last year will. Anyway, can we make that the last question?
RSG: Sure thing dude, thanks for your time!
THQ: Alright, hope to speak to you again soon, bye!
